Bad Machinery by John Allison for October 27, 2020

So if you’re not familiar with the greater Tacklefordverse, you may be wondering things like “what kind of guy might Mildred have a crush on?” or “who is the love of Erin Winters’ life?”. And today you get the answer! (Hint: it ain’t Pepper.) But I’m fairly certain this is The Boy’s sole appearance in Bad Machinery, so you’d need to go back to Scary Go Round or read New Bobbins to find out more.

(He kinda let himself go after his first girlfriend (Esther) cheated on him within two weeks of starting university. He didn’t always look like a ginger Orson Welles. He would, however, spend some time as a horse in Hell, so there’s that.) (NFT is such a useful phrase.)

Also, Lottie arguing with Pepper about his (in)ability to fight a kangaroo is adorable.

Lottie would love to have the old carnival experience. It’s always adorable seeing a child playing with her dog♡.

I love how this comic shows normal everyday life sometimes, though if I think about it, I’m not sure Charlotte has a normal everyday life.

Pepper looks more like a cat acting like a dog.

But not before giving the pigeon the yapping of its life!
